Description
8 parts›BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a motor driving circuit, and in particular, to motor driving circuit that linearly adjusts the slew rate of the output current.
2. Description of Related Art
The switching driving circuit of the voice coil motor normally outputs a large output current of 10 mA. It is necessary to adjust the parameters of the drive circuit and output switches for adjusting the slew rate of the output current, such as Gate-Drain capacitance (Cgd). However, the cost of the process is not only increased accordingly, but the changes of the chip parameters are also increased. In addition, slew rate control is usually used to prevent noise from generating, and some slew rate requirements are between 55V/us and 65V/us. However, by adjustment of the parameters of the drive circuit and the output switches, it is difficult to linearly and accurately adjust the slew rate in a small range.
Therefore, providing a motor driving circuit that can linearly control the slew rate of the output current is an important issue in the industry.

Due to the turning on of the first adjusting switch 1721 , the second end (gate end) of the second adjusting switch 1722 has a suitable turning-on voltage for being turned on.
When the second output current Iout 2 is decreasing, the first current mirror switch 1711 and the second current unit 1412 of the first current mirror unit 171 synchronously operate according to the second adjusting switch 1722 . A coupling current corresponding to the fourth adjusting current I 4 flows through the first adjusting end 17 A, such that the voltage of the second end of the second output switch Q 2 (gate end) is increased. In the embodiment, the second output switch Q 2 is a N-MOSFET. When the voltage of the second end of the first output switch is increased, the voltage difference between the third end and the second end of the second output switch Q 2 is reduced, and the turned-on channel of second output switch Q 2 is reduced. Therefore, the increasing speed of the second output current Iout 1 is limited. In other words, the rising slew rate of the first output current Iout 1 is affected by a fourth adjusting parameter of the fourth adjusting module 17 . The rising slew rate of the first output current Iout 1 can be represented by the following equation 4.
I 4 is the fourth adjusting current, and C 4 is the capacitance of the second adjusting capacitor C 4 . The ratio of the fourth adjusting current I 4 and the fourth adjusting capacitor C 4 is the fourth adjusting parameter of the fourth adjusting module 17 .
Referring to FIG. 6 , the upper side of the FIG. 6 is an output current-time chart, and the lower side of the FIG. 6 is a chart that shows the voltage of second end of the first output switch Q 1 . The solid line I is the output current of the motor driving circuit without adjusting modules. The dotted line II is the output current of the motor driving circuit with adjusting modules. The solid line III shows the voltage of the second end of the first output switch Q 1 without adjusting modules. The dotted line IV shows the voltage of the second end of the first output switch Q 1 of the motor driving circuit with adjusting modules.
In the first time T 1 of the solid line I in FIG. 6 , the current curve starts to rise with a large rising slew rate and the motor driving circuit generates a loud noise. In the second time T 2 of the solid line I, the current achieves a predetermined value. However, in the dotted line III, the current curve slowly increases until reaching a predetermined value at the third time T 3 .
In contrast, when the motor driving circuit does not include any adjusting module, the voltage of the second end of the first output switch Q 1 is shown as the solid line III in FIG. 6 . When the motor driving circuit includes adjusting modules, the voltage of the second end of the first output switch Q 1 is shown as the dotted line IV.
According to the above, in the switching motor driving circuit of the present disclosure, both of the first output switch and the second switch include two adjusting modules. Regardless of the direction of the output current, the rising slew rate and the falling slew rate can be linearly adjusted. In addition, the circuit of the adjusting module is simple and separate from the original driving circuit. Accordingly, the parameters of the original driving circuit are not affected, and the rising slew rate and the falling slew rate can be effectively adjusted. In addition, the process yield can be improved, the costs can be reduced, and the developmental schedule can be shortened.
The above-mentioned descriptions represent merely the exemplary embodiments of the instant disclosure, without any intention to limit the scope of the instant disclosure thereto. Various equivalent changes, alterations or modifications based on the claims of present disclosure are all consequently viewed as being embraced by the scope of the instant disclosure.
